Abstract (en)

A microwave antenna, comprising: A feedline configured to couple to a source of energy; a radiating portion defining a longitudinal axis and configured to deliver energy to tissue; a distal end member configured to be spaced-apart from the radiating portion a target axial distance; a flexible joint interconnecting the feedline and the radiating portion; and a spacer disposed between the distal end member and the radiating portion and configured to engage the radiating portion to move the radiating portion axially along the longitudinal axis such that the target axial distance between the radiating portion and the distal end member is maintained.
